`A, B` and `C` are three points in a unifrom electric field. The electric potential is

A

Maximum at `A`

B

Maximum at `B`

C

Maximum at `C`

D

Same at all three points `A, B` and `C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The electric field will be maximum at `B`, as the direction of electric field is along decreasing potential `V_(B) gt V_(C) gt V_(A)`.
